This has to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. Never, ever, has a movie been supported by one actor so well. Michael Douglas is perfect in this movie. It couldn't get any better. Every twitch he makes is perfection.
That is not to say that the supporting cast is not good. They're great, Robert Duvall especially, but this is Douglas's movie. This is his role of a life-time.
SPOILER: The plot is ridiculously simple: A man get's fed up with life, and he goes his own way, all the way to his ex-wife's and his daughter's birthday party. Complications occur, since the life of Douglas does not fit the niche of today's society.
Douglas character is so cool, and his lines are great. He does everything we all want to do at some point in life. Although he seems psychotic and brutal, we still root for him and hope he will succeed in his quest.
This movie is not for the queasy. It's brutal, it's honest, and it's not your conventional movie. Joel Shumacher should continue on these lines. 10/10
